At Farnborough Air Show 2014, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems presents RECCELITE, a day/night electro-optical tactical reconnaissance pod for real-time imagery collection and data transfer. Self-contained and self-cooled, the multi-sensor system is composed of an airborne payload, a wide digital data link and a ground exploitation station (GES). RECCELITE is combat proven and in operation worldwide.
RECCELITE is a self-contained self-cooled multi-sensor tactical reconnaissance system, consisting of an airborne pod based on the LITENING Targeting and Navigation Pod and a ground exploitation station. The RECCELITE simultaneously collects Infra-Red (IR) and Visual (VIS and near IR) digital images within a very wide field of regard, in accordance with an automatic mission plan and/or manual operation.
The RECCELITE pod is a derivative of Rafael's LITENING navigation and targeting pod, which is in use in Air Forces worldwide. Together, the RECCELITE and LITENING provide a highly effective solution for shortening the critical sensor-to-shooter cycle.
The RECCELITE concept is completely innovative (patent pending), and is changing the way in which reconnaissance can be carried out.
Building upon these features and capabilities, RECCELITE can perform low, medium and high altitude missions, at tactical or standoff ranges, simultaneously in IR, VIS and NIR (Near IR) wavebands, during the same mission, with a single pod, and without replacing the sensors suite. The following picture illustrates RECCELITE line of sight capabilities.
RECCELITE’s line of sight flexibility also allows stereo viewing in any of the operational conditions, sensors, and fields of view, generating high quality stereo due to the ability to revisit a target area after a sufficiently large aspect angle was created by the aircraft progression.
The RECCE-U is a real time ISR system for UAVs. Based on the RECCELITE system, RECCE-U transforms the way persistent ISR and IED detection missions are carried out. Recce-U simultaneously collects high resolution infrared (IR) and visual digital images in an unlimited field of regard. A variety of scanning modes provide optimal photography of all terrains and combine accurate area coverage with high quality imagery.
The system enables automatic photography, according to either a pre-prepared mission plan or to an updated mission plan uplinked in real-time. Additionally, the operator can initiate manual scanning for targets of opportunity.
